Hello Mark,

Gordon's sister lives on the Central Coast of NSW, Australia.  I gave her a
scrap book some years ago which was put together by someone in England
during Gordon's hey days.  If you e-mail me direct I will discuss.
Thanks, Jan Grainger

As for Gordon's British League Career he rode for Wolves in 1965 and 1966
riding in 71 matches, having 287 rides and scoring 523 points. He did not
travel to England in 1967 and 1968 and resumed with Poole in 1969 and 1970
riding in 73 matches and scoring 534 points from 285 rides. Unfortunately
1970 was to be his last season in England as he was killed in a track
accident at Liverpool in a very innocous looking accident. So in his
British League career he rode in 144 matches and scored 1057 points from
572 rides for a career average of 7.39 but figures never show the real
quality of the man. I never knew Gordon personally butfrom everybody I have
spoken to who knew him or rode with/against him he was true gentleman.

Subject: Mickey Mouse comes to Foxhall Heath -  USA test match fiasco
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 12:07:35 +0100

Am I the only person who wasted time and money journeying to Ipswich for
last Thursdays Test match. After 150 miles of travelling to Ipswich I found
out from a local newsagent that the match had been called off at lunchtime
on Thursday. 
Not a single notice or person at the Foxhall Heath circuit to tell anybody
what was going on. Typical. 

It proves to me that Speedway still is a Mickey Mouse sport  - proved by the
team from where Mickey Mouse was born. 

I dont suppose anything will be done to the USA governing body for this
shambles. The BSPA in my opinion seem pretty gutless when it comes to
running the sport. 

Personally I would have the USA thrown out of the FIM and barred from all
FIM team events for the disgraceful late cancellation of an official
fixture.

As for the Ipswich 'promotion' they could and should have done more at the
track to publicise what had happened.

It is definitely my last visit to any BSPA sponsored event

I understand your annoyance (I'd be pissed off as well), but test matches 
are bi-laterally arranged between national federations and are nothing to 
do with the FIM.

Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 14:30:44

who was the gratest rider ever and why?

TOMMY JANSSON

He taking the most points from the back and was a very good sportsman. 
Your body was speed-Up when he was out on the track!
The SPEEDWAY-WORLD stood still when He was gone for a long time.
He left a big gap after him. Still in the moment NO rider like him in the world.

Subject: RE:[speedway] RE:Big meeting in Stockholm tonight
Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 15:46:57


Forgive my ignorance Stephen, but a few questions here;

Which track in Stockholm is it? Is there more than one? Home of which team,
if any?

Gubbangen is the track with Getingarna All-SWEDISH league as the team.

Another track is Huddinge with Eldarna as the team and their are in the regional north.

What is the status of this meeting? Is this Sweden's equivalent of the
'Internationale'? A big open meeting of the best available on the night
around the world?

This is SEFF-CHAMPIONSHIPS. We have this meeting for the first time for/including foreigners 
in the SWEDISH LEAGUE last year when Billy Hamill took the victory and Hans Nielsen say 
good-bye to the SWEDISH SPEEDWAY and He is the track-record-holder with 67,1!

Is there big prize money and a prestigious title to go with it? Or just some
trophy?

YES! With a crowd in a minimal of 1500 people the first price is 15.000 SEK = around 1000 pounds!
There are prize-money to 1-16 riders (all riders)

Finally, what is the format? 20 heats - 5 rides each or a GP style (with top
5 I guess not)

YUP! 20 heats and the TOP-five in a FINAL!!!!!

My top five would be...

CRUMP
HANCOCK
HAMILL
GUSTAFSSON
NAHLIN

You have the same as Me, without Nahlin instead of Gunnestad:)

Nice to see:) SZ

But what would I know! :-))

My thought on the meeting being postponed

I thought that it was the BSPA that run the sport. Now for the first =
time ever the SCB has overruled them. It seams quite obsured when you =
look at it from the point of view that the meeting was called off due to =
one rider! Since when has one rider determind league fixture dates. =
There are three other GP riders that would have been happy to ride on =
that date. You can fully understand why the sport is in the state it's =
in when BULLS**T like this goes on. Get rid of the BSPA give the SCB =
less power. Appoint one person neutral to the sport, to run the whole =
kit and caboodle.

Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 22:36:06 +0100

Eastbourne had no answer to a superb performance from the Wolves who were in
great form, easily their best match of the season. It was an excellent team
performance, Wayne Carter and Roman Povazhny followed up their reserve race
maximum at Arlington with another 5-1 in heat 2, and Sam and Jesper doubled
the lead in Heat 3. Congratulations to David Norris in that one, who made
himself look a real pillock, falling at the back on the first lap and making
no attempt to get up. The referee had no hesitation in awarding the 5-1 as
Norris rode back to the derision of the crowd!

Wolves never surrendered this lead as they answered everything Eastbourne
threw at them. Dugard came in as T/S to join Screen in heat 6 but was kept
at the back by Correy and Skornicki. Hurry came in to Heat 8 but Adam
Skornicki produced a superb ride to beat Barker and Hurry - and treated the
fans to another of his famous donut celebrations on the home straight! Last
throw of the dice was a tactical in Heat 11 for Screen, but Nicki Pedersen
produced an excellent ride to beat Dugard and Screen and effectively seal
the win.

For Wolves, the whole team were really fired up and aggressive. Nicki
Pedersen in particular was on the ragged edge at times, and attacked the
track all night. Ronnie was also VERY aggressive, and was missing the gate
but charging past people on the inside constantly. Another excellent return
from Adam - 7+1 from number 2, and he is turning into one of the signings of
the season. He has made a great impression with the crowd who just love him!
Sam and Jesper - both consistent, solid and effective - maybe overshadowed
by others but fine points returns. Wayne seemed to grow in confidence with
that Heat 2   win, and actually pushed Joe Screen all the way in Heat 11.
Roman again rode hard for his points, and I'm amazed to look at the
programme and see that he only scored 3+1.

Eastbourne must have still fancied their chances coming into tonight as they
are packed with Monmore specialists, but had no answer on the night. Dugard
rode hard, Screen looked much more like his old self, but the others did
very little. Norris was awful, Barker little better, Hurry only got going
when the match was lost, and the reserves were very poor. What on earth has
gone wrong with Kokko? But then again, who cares?

Up the Wolves!
Mark.
